a problem with Icon Packager

from WinCustomize Forums
I have a problem with Icon Packager: from a few days ago, suddenly and apparently without any reason, every time I apply a package all seems to works correctly, but once I restart XP I find that they're not applied. I've tryed to uninstall Icon Packager and reinstall, but it won't work. At every restart the icons return to look the standard way.
Any Ideas?
Thanx
Bye

Once you've applied your icon package click on 'Tools' > 'Rebuild Icon Cache'. That should sort it

Tried: no way. Every time I reload XP I got standard icons. I've noticed that the problem is on the documents and PC Resources Icons and on the icons under the start menù (but strangely all the other icons looks in the right way, icons like folders, drivers etc. are all working good).
Don't understand

Does this happen with every package you load

Have you got the latest version of Iconpackager....there have been a couple of beta releases recently.

Right, just a few things to try and hopefully this can be sorted.

On the front page of Iconpackager are all the boxes ticked on the left hand side in the include box?

Go to settings and tell me what boxes are not ticked.

Rebuild your icon cache again.

I am going out for a bit but if you cannot get it going properly trying some of above i will try help again

YES

Rebuild your icon cache again.
DONE IT TONS OF TIMES

Then I restart and I found standard icons and standard name. The strange is that only documents and computer resources and all the icons under start return standard once I reload the OS. All the other icons remains modified. And more strange is that everytime I reload the OS also the name of computer resources and documents return standard (I've recalled docs Ganesha for example)and finally even more strange is that this is happening since few days ago, suddenly and without any reason, I haven't touch anything...

Have you tried checking your Iconpackager settings?

Make sure in the right column that 'Custom Files' is checked when you save theme.

I'm going to guess that this happened when/if you installed 'Icon Developer' thru SDC and it changed your icon manager back to XP. Un-install it and see what happens.........

I'M NOT SURE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE TOLD: NEVER INSTALLED ICON DEVELOPER AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SDC... THE ONLY THING I CAN REMEMBER SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED IS THE INSTALLATION OF NORTON SYSTEMWORKS 2004 AND THE NEW DRIVER SET BY NVIDIA FOR MY NFORCE2
